well look at my webshots you can see what I saw

You're far south so the best thing I can say is take oodles of pics and ask us for advice... start looking/saving now for a hood... take pics from all different angles, have patience and good luck
cant hurt to get estimate from body shops... see exactly what they say would need to be done... compare the lists or required work fromt eh different body shops... take pics of the areas in question and post em up here and ask questions.
